Fred, Wilma, and Pebbles are still fine-tuning the wheel, so we're celebrating with the ever-soignee, sweet, and snappy Nick and Nora Charles! And what a year this alone has been! Here's the highlights so far:
* I've been elected as Chairwoman of the Board of the CMBA with my fearless co-leaders Page, Marsha, Lara, Patty (I haven't forgotten anyone, have I? There's a reason my blog is titled Tales of the Easily Distracted, so please forgive me if I've unwittingly left anyone out!)
* My pal and fellow Blogger R.A. Kerr (Ruth to her pals) of Silver Screenings teamed up with me for the Mary Astor Blogathon from May 3rd through May 10th, to resounding success!
* I also contributed a blog post for another of our pals and fellow Bloggers, Jo Gabriel of The Last Drive-In and Goregirl's Dungeon for the William Castle Blogathon. My post was the hilarious horror-comedy The Spirit is Willing.
Thanks a million for being wonderful friends, readers, bloggers, and awesome people overall, everyone!
You're not gonna believe this... but I started my blog on August 16, 2010. So I guess that was a pretty good week for both of us!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Here's to three more.
Holy cats, Rich, how spectacularly cool that you and I happened to start our blogs on the same day! To borrow one of my favorite lines from FOUL PLAY, "It's Fate, Fergie, Kismet!" Does that make us Blogger cousins or something? :-) Thanks for your kind congratulations, my friend, and please accept my hearty congrats to you as well for years to come!
DeleteHappy anniversary, Dorian.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your anniversary wishes, Kim!
DeleteCongratulations, Dorian and Vinnie, on a wonderful first three years (I'm not far behind, my blog was born 3 yrs. ago in Sept.). Looking forward to many more years of entertaining and insightful posts here at TotED.
ReplyDeleteAnd, by the way, it's my pleasure to serve with and assist you on CMBA's board, Madam Prez (and you didn't leave anyone out - of course not!).
Patty, there must be something about August and September that inspires new blogs, considering the dates of our blogs and of course, how awesome all of our blogs and bloggers are! :-D
DeleteThanks so much for your anniversary wishes, Patty, and also for being a friend and a great help to me and our fellow CMBA Board Members and teammates! May both of us continue to blog happily together for many moons to come!
Happy wappy blogiversary, you crazy kid1

Aw, beaucoup thanks for your enthusiastic anniversary wishes, Page! Vinnie and I really appreciate the rest of the gang rooting for us to keep doing that voodoo that Team B. does so well, not to put the whammy on it! Pressure? Ain't nothin' but a Queen/David Bowie song! ;-)
DeleteHappy anniversary to you, Vinnie, and the Tales of Easily Distracted! It's been a great three years!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much indeed for your very kind 3rd Anniversary kudos, Rick! Does time fly, or what? :-) We always enjoy the Classic Film & TV, and here's to many more blogger fun for us, for you, and all our blogger pals as time goes on!

DeleteWhoa! Congratulations, Dorian! Keep on with all your wonderful posts, always informative and in-depth.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it's curious that here in Brazil Pebbles in The Flintstones is called Little Rock.
Kisses!
Le, we of TotED thank you kindly, both for your charming 3rd Anniversary wishes, AND for helping me to learn a cool Fun Fact: I loved finding out that in Brazil, Pebbles is called "Little Rock"! Thanks for sharing this with us, Le, and kisses to you and your friends, loved ones and fellow movie bloggers in Brazil and everywhere you go!
DeleteI'm filled with shame that I'm so tardy wishing you a Happy Anniversary, Dori Tenore! It's hard to believe how long we've been doing this, isn't it? The movie blog world would not have been the same without you and Vinnie!
ReplyDeleteMy dear Becky, no shame is necessary here at TotED -- we're always thrilled to have you join the TotED fun anytime you like! It may sound corny, but it's true: it truly seems like just yesterday that we became both pals and fellow movie bloggers, and I'm so glad your one of my dearest friends. You'll always be the Big Sis I've always wanted -- thank you so much, and here's to more Happy Blogaversaries to come, for all of us! :-D
DeleteWishing you a belated Happy Blogoversary, Dorian TB! I always enjoy reading your zesty, spirited and, above all, fun movie reviews! All the best and here's to the next 3 years and beyond!
ReplyDeleteJeff, thanks so much for your enthusiastic well wishes for TotED's 3rd Blogaversary -- any time is a good time praise! :-) I hope that both your own awesome blog THE STALKING MOON and us here at TotED will be blogging and enjoying about swell movies for many moons to come!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversay Dorian, from the Midwest. Looking forward to much more enjoyable reading from Team B.
